We’ve had several artists join in the last couple of weeks. One is someone who I want to personally point out to everyone because she has exhibited exceptional skill and talent as an artist… and she has already shared so much of her work.

I don’t know exactly where she lives in India, but I’m hoping that she and her family are safe after the tragedies that hit that area of the world this week.

In other news, I have created a new small game resource on the site for playing Tic Tac Toe. It’s a JavaScript game.

Some of you might wonder why I sometimes waste my time programming little JavaScript games. Well, I admit that it’s sometimes a little silly… but the real reason I do it is to sharpen my problem-solving skills regarding programming. Trying to make things happen in a limited language like JavaScript requires you to stretch your mind some… which is always good.

While I’ve wedged in a little spare time to be creative this week, I still have a lot of serious work to do for the next week or two. So I may still be slow in responding to any inquiries. Please be patient.

Have a safe and creative week!
